Each
of
the
51
rooms
is
cool,
white
and
constructed
to
the
traditional
design
of a
Swahili
house,
which
is
dependant
upon
the
length
of
the
mangrove
poles
that
make
up
its
ceilings.
Adorned
with
arched
niches,
antique
plates
and
brass
lamps
and
featuring
traditionally
carved
furniture,
cool-ceramics,
intricate
fretwork,
draped
beds
and
louver
doors
giving
onto
wrought-iron
balconies
overlooking
the
Persian-bath
pool
and
azure
bay
beyond,
each
room
reflects
a
blend
of
essential
Zanzibar
and
world-class
elegance.
Dining:
Constructed
so
that
the
waves
lap
to
within
inches
of
its
open
windows
and
the
lateen-sailed
dhows
pass
within
metres
of
its
tables,
the
Baharia
Restaurant
features
lazily
whirring
fans,
a
jewel-glass
atrium,
mangrove-pole
ceiling,
fretwork
screens,
Omani
carvings,
Persian
rugs
and
bright
Swahili
artefacts.
